I’m having a little difficulty understanding which equations (of the ones I can even find!) to use to help determine altitudes, speeds, camera specifics, and etc to fly for autonomous missions. Are these tools in ODM?
For example, I need to map and convert to 3D about 12 acres. Once I outline the area of interest, can ODM help me set aititudes, speeds, and etc. to get a desired, say 3cm/pixel from a hexacopter?

Winblows, several versions of Linux, even irix if I break the old machines. But the (planned) mapping machine runs Debian Stretch. It has some horsepower and a bit of storage space, along with an NAS in the other room. It’s just me, alone. (Long time computer nerd.)

Yeah, I’m looking for a flight planning tool that I can set the overlap and resolution requirements and have the planner do the donkey work of the calcs and then throw up the calculated routes, altitudes, f-stops, snapshot timings, and etc. It’s all math.
